You will need an alighnment. Should not be out too bad. And yes you will be able to drive to the alighment shop. Just dont drive a long ways or you will have no front tires left.

yeah you will need an alignment, you can drive without an alignment, just dont drive for 10K without getting one. Just get it as soon as you can.

I just got back from the alignment shop and I didn't like what was said. I used spindles and keys in the front for a total of 4". I thought that with the spindles their would not be an issue on alignment. They told me that they adjusted as far as they could but its not perfect. It may pull to the right. Tires will rub and wear. They told me that I didn't have any more adjustment left. What should I do. Or does this sound funny to you. They where very well recommended. They also scratched off the warranty and noted that the trucks suspension was altered. Could this just be their way of guarding themselves.

ok general rule of thumb is when ever you break the front end loose then get it aligned. mine could not get perfect with a 4 inch drop but came to within tollerance with no adjustment left.

JUS: that sounds funny to me. the spindles should not of altered much. the keys in theory should of been the only thing that changed any thing ang then i dont think it would of been enought that it would run out of adjustment. o and the place i took mine did the lifetime waranty even with altered suspension. were are you located?? i would say call around to suspension shops and ask who they use. because the people they use prob do allot of lowered stuff that is how i found the place to do mine after checking 3-4 places and have had no prob.
